@BarbMcQuade Miss McQuade, you write:
"The spoils system is back, baby!"
To which I say, "Hallelujah!"
My late father, a 30-year Federal civil servant, could tell you stories of people who desperately needed to be fired, for incompetence, corruption, or just plain laziness.
@xnoesbueno And communism succeeded as much as it did in the Soviet Union because it seized on Taylorism (see Frederick Taylor) and its industrial wonders to give communism a sheen of being "scientific" and "progressive". Absent that, communism is utterly laughable in its cluelessness.

@EdKrassen Their humanity is not in question. Their parents' presence on US soil is unlawful. The parents must leave the country PERIOD. If the child shows up at the border at age 18 to claim citizenship, fine. But he will spend his childhood somewhere else.
@JoJoFromJerz The suit was civil, not criminal, so the burden of proof is lower. Also, the charges were bogus, even laughable in their vagueness. Also, predjuced juries exist. All in all, it was a railroad job, but technically lawful, so the SC had no choice but to uphold it. π€·ββοΈ
@BeingJWood Because it was "too big to rig". Also about 15 million of Dementia Joe's 81 million voters didn't show up to vote for Commie LaWhorish, probably because they didn't exist in the first place.
@famexbt So your Boomer stepmother is an ungenerous over-bearing excuse for a human being. How is that an indictment of an entire generation? If you think so, are YOU the one who lacks a spirit of generosity to others?
@iam_biglad1 It doesn't benefit those who live under it -- just ask the Venezuelans, Cubans, Poles, Russians, etc., etc. It DOES, however, benefit those running socialist regimes -- Chavez, Maduro, Castro, Stalin, etc., etc. "Some animals are more equal than others." -- George Orwell.
@BarbMcQuade π€£ π€£ Miss McQuade, my late father was a 30-year Federal civil servant, and could have entered the SES if he wanted to. I'm sure that he would've been happy to describe the professionalism and independence of the Civil Service, if he could only stop laughing at your naivete.
@NathanJRobinson We owe foreigners NOTHING when it comes to our tax money. If you want me to give a charity, and "render unto God what is God's", fine. But stop SQUEEZING me via the tax system to make me render unto Caesar what is God's. Caesar isn't God, no matter how much you insist he is.
